Case proven, point made, Brad moves on
It's the minority not majority who make up the headlines you fool, those who can't handle the alcohol they're putting into their bodies. It's those people the government seems incapable of controlling, controlling the masses when the problem effects the few is madness.
My parents allowed me to have a sip of wine at dinner time. I see no harm in that.
It's got naff all to do with alcohol like gun crime has not naff all to do with guns (although guns arguably kill so heavier controls need to be in place). It's about a society's views on such subjects. Alcohol in the UK by most is considered the be all and end all of a fun time. It's that that needs to change not banning alcohol to those who use it responsibly.
It's even got naff all to do with how much you drink, it's how responsible you are afterwards that's important. If you get pissed then stagger how quietly so what.
I take offence to being charged more through taxes to buy a pint. Why I should I? I am a responsible drinker, but then I know when I've had enough.
Obviously alcohol kills thousands of people each year, and causes millions of people pain. That doesn't mean it should be taken away from the masses who cause zero trouble.
FYI the UK is certainly not the only country with a drink problem. Ireland does, Holland does, it tends to be the colder countries funnily enough.

He he true.
Everything is extremes with Romero, he's not capable of considering most people are capable of drinking responsibly.
(Well, small amounts then). By Tom's logic is smoking good for you?
